GIANT BookCon + Employee Appreciation Book Haul!!

There are A LOT of books for this haul!! I'm finally getting around to my BookCon haul (only a week and a half late) but not only that, right after BookCon was employee appreciation week at work! That could only mean that I buy way more books than I need - not that I even don't need books - but with a bigger discount. Just one of the perks of working in a bookstore. I did try to be good and not buy all the books even though I was sincerely tempted to.

BookCon Haul

This first part are all the books that I either bought while at BookCon or snagged free ARC copies of.

* Though I got this signed, I actually brought this copy from home and since I brought my own copy of one of his books, Patrick Ness signed and gave me a copy of The Knife of Never Letting Go too because he's awesome like that.

I got a bunch of chapter samplers too though I gave all
of them away at work except for the Felicia Day one. I read it and I'm
really excited for her book to come out later this year.

* I saw this and the Supernatural fangirl in me needed it. There's alsoBobby's Guide to Huntingthat I want to pick up at some point too.

** Another book that I didn't buy but got brought back from BEA by one of my managers.

I admit to having had a minor crisis moment when I realized I had 27 new or ARC books to choose from. But I finally decided I'm going to start with Queen of the Tearling - partly because I've heard good things about it and partly because Emma Watson is supposed to be starring in the upcoming movie version. After that, The Wrath and the Dawn is definitely my next go to.

Wow, you had quite a nice haul!! Wrath and the Dawn is AMAZING. I hope you enjoy!! Uprooted has gotten so much praise too :) I can't wait to read Illuminae and Queen of the Tearling. Happy weekend and enjoy your books :)

Haha thanks! I have no idea where I'm going to put all of it! My books are already stacked on top of my bookshelf and touching the ceiling xD I KNOW!! I've heard such amazing things about both of them! They're definitely priority out of this haul =D
